Why WVU Medicine: WVU Medicine offers a wide range of clinical rotation experiences as well as teaching opportunities through the WVU School of Pharmacy. Outside of being able to serve a diverse patient population at a large academic medical center, I was drawn to this residency program because of the welcoming and supportive culture within the institution. The pharmacy staff here has shown they are truly invested in my personal and professional growth as a resident.
